Actually, the Constitution was drafted with the intention of having Congress function as the most powerful of the three branches of the U.S. government. Every penny spent by the Federal government must be authorized by Congress. Every executive branch department was legislated into existence by Congress and can be ended by Congress.

Congress can override a presidential veto and can impeach and remove a President. The President has no such corresponding power over Congress.

As pathetic as these Democratic hearings are, they will certainly offer an interesting civics lesson for everyone who pays attention!

Wrong. Read the Federalist papers, and Jefferson’s writings on the unitary executive. Or, just read AG Barr’s last opinion column on the unitary executive.
